Even though it’s summer, from a sport’s perspective I hate this time of year. The only sport going on right now is baseball and since the Rockies have pretty much always sucked and there was no professional baseball in Denver until them…I am forced to wait for football season to get here. And it’s almost here!!
Just 21 days…count them…that’s a mere 3 weeks until Broncos’ training camp starts. And the first real game (Preseason still doesn’t count) is only 2 months away. I for one cannot wait!! I love professional football and I bleed Orange & Blue! And I am pretty bullish on the Broncos’ prospects this year. I think they have a better than average shot at winning their division (can anyone guess the last time Norv Turner had a winning season as a head coach?? That would be never!). I think their season hinges on Travis Henry and Jay Cutler…and I like those odds.
And with the start of the NFL season comes half of the reason to watch. Fantasy Football baby! Two months from the draft and I’m already starting to plan. Just can’t help myself. The last two seasons I’ve had LT on my roster (and paid dearly for him too since we run an auction draft). Didn’t win either year (although I was in contention) so this year I may have other plans in mind.
NFL 2007 here we come…can’t get here soon enough!
Can’t agree with you more Dave!! My hopes are high this year for the Broncos-I think the running game will be back to the ol’days- Travis Henry will take our running game to the next level. – I also want to give a shout out to my Husker’s. I am hoping for a breakout year with Callahan’s offense- Go Big Red!!
That should do it for the Husker talk…for the remainder of 2007 and 2008 thank you!
Who’s Norv Turner?
I don’t know who Nick is – but I like him already. Keep up the Big Red talk and don’t let Dave forget that the Buffs suck. This is the year that Nebraska is back in the BCS.
Norv Turner is the new head coach of the Charger’s (our only real competition in the AFC West). They’ve got a good team…but a complete overturn in their coaching staff from last year won’t be easy to overcome (especially with Turner leading things).
The Corn, I don’t think so. I am afraid they have a long way to go………GO BUFFS……
If your talking a long way to go to the National Championship (which would be our 6th) then I think you have the Huskers and the Buffs confused. Face reality man, Buffs don’t have a chance to win more than 5 this year.
Go SEC!
jody…give it up. Georgia Tech is not in the SEC.
